Introduction
Autonomy empowers
Mechatronics combines different disciplines, transforming graduates from this program into experts in the design and creation of products and processes in a wide range of areas, including robotics, production lines, automated systems, and medical, automotive, and aerospace devices, among others.
The B.S. in Mechatronics Engineering program at Tecnológico de Monterrey aims to train professionals with a solid base in mechatronics, the synergy and integration of mechanics, electronics, programming, and control, capable of integrating, designing, and manufacturing automatic devices, machines, and systems. Its applications include industrial automation, industrial robots, general-purpose robots, medical devices, automotive devices, and aerospace devices among others. Graduates work in companies that use automated production systems, as consultants, starting their own companies, or enrolling in postgraduate studies.
This program is offered in English and Spanish, allowing graduates to have a multicultural profile.
If you have a B2 level of English according to the Common European Framework of Reference (CEFR) you can study this Bachelor with these characteristics:
- Courses taught in English
- Students with a high-performance profile
- Education partners with a transnational profile
- Elite International Guest Professors
- Possibility of taking courses with international students
- Concentrations, Tec Weeks, and Tec Semester in English (optional)
Earn a Bachelor's diploma upon graduation by meeting the program requirements, in addition to your degree as Ingeniero en Mecatrónica.
In order to obtain the Bachelor's diploma you must:
- Study at least the fourth, fifth, sixth, and eighth semesters in English
- Demonstrate a C1 level of command of the English language reference to the CEFR, in any of the exams authorized by the Institution
- Have an average equal to or greater than 85 at the end of your studies
The three stages of the model
1. Exploration
- You will open your competency file and add to it throughout your degree program.
- You will learn the foundations of the area of the Built Environment.
- You will participate in fundamental and exploration challenges from the area of Built Environment, interacting with peers from different degree programs.
- You will study general education courses, selecting them from a collection.
- You will participate in a challenge that integrates all the competencies to be developed in this phase.
2. Focus
- You will acquire the core competencies of your degree, in other words, those that distinguish it.
- You will participate in more focused challenges to reinforce what you have learned and broaden your basic knowledge.
- You will have the elements to decide whether to deepen your knowledge or diversify and, subsequently, build your specialization plan.
- The Tec Weeks, challenges, and overall university experiences will enrich your file.
3. Specialization
- You have decided between diversifying or focusing deeply on your major, which you will achieve by choosing a concentration or a stay, to name a few of your options. The TEC Semester is a flexible time to start.
- You will develop the competencies related to your specialization, increasingly connected to your passions, interests, and plans.
- By passing a concentration, you will develop your competencies, and, on graduating, will be a candidate for obtaining a Diploma in that concentration, after meeting the established requirements.
How can you specialize?
